What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Alastair70]

James Mortons Totally Tropical, with a lamb dhansak I found in the freezer, cooked during lockdown when I was missing my local Indian.

Was supposed to be a brew day today but an impromptu BBQ stopped that. Almost out of beer so smashing the wife's gin.

Nomadic beers pale, bought for me a couple of months back by my son. Nice clean, grapefruity hops

Bubbles! Hell yeah!!

Hop combo is a good one. I am not a fan of S04 either. There's just something tart about the aftertaste. I wouldn't call it a general purpose yeast, it needs to be used carefully. Best in stouts and porters I think alongside some bitter roasted malts. I much prefer Nottingham as a general purpose dry yeast but try to mash on the high side to maintain some body.

I have been brewing ESB for quite a number of consecutive brews, so far Target with EKG with CN36 yeast is my favourite. I just made another using Target and Styrian Goldings SO4 yeast, I like my IBU's at the top end of the BJCP guide lines so hopefully this will turn out similar to the one I thought I didn't like. Will leave it longer this time.

 

[Pennine]

starting early enjoying the view in wales.

this is probably my favorite czech pils brewed right here in the UK.... might even be my favorite lager.

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

Homebrew fruit wine... Delicious, still a bit on the sweet side but really happy with it

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Started a beef chilli - I love chilli almost as much as I love beer. Speaking of beer I’m having one of those too (who knew?).

This is almost the end of my 6.9% Mosaic/Simcoe ale but don’t worry @samale, there’s one with your name on it and another batch just finishing

Another try of my latest neipa and can't say I'm impressed.
A bit boozy tasting at 7% and under hopped

Looks beautiful Dan, shame it isn’t everything you wanted - doesn’t make it a bad beer though. I’ll pop round for a try in a week or two

Yeah it looks the part and isn't really under hopped (considering how many went in) but the fruitiness seems to be coming more from the yeast than the hops, to me at least.
You'll all get one I'm sure, as soon as my beergun spares arrives - I'd be grateful for the feedback

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Just added the Habanero chillies

After my own Vienna/Mosaic ale, I thought I should immediately try this little number from @samale as a comparison.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

@samale, you bugger!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

So, the beer from @samale was quite well carbonated(!) but actually it was nice. The off-white head quickly settled to a thin layer of bubbles on the surface lasting pretty much the whole way down the glass.

Slightly brown orange juice/pineapple colour suggesting slight oxidisation but there’s no hint of oxidisation in the flavour.

Aroma is way more fruity than mine, all the fruits you’d expect for Mosaic and Simcoe. Not as much malt on the nose but this is almost certainly because of the hop additions (for interest, what were the hop additions?).

Flavour is similarly fruity. Here, the malt is a little more evident and is really nicely balanced by what is actually quite mild bitterness. No astringency at all, the lingering flavour is mild bitterness and quite a lot of fruitiness.

Quite a different beer to mine considering we used similar ingredients and I guess the difference reflects our own personal tastes but a very nice beer mate, I’d happily drink more!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Time to slow things down a little...Saison!

The chillis coming on nicely- really meaty, burns like... well, habanero I guess

 

[marshbrewer]

Water for me. On the wagon now until Friday.
